GitHub is also expanding its Secure Open Source Fund with an additional $5.5 million in Azure credits and funding, adding new partners including Datadog, Open WebUI, Atlantic Council, and OWASP. The initiative focuses on reducing maintainer burnout by integrating AI tools like Copilot Pro into security workflows, improving vulnerability triage, and strengthening software supply chains. Over 280,000 maintainers already have free access to GitHub's core platform and security tools. Results from prior funding rounds include 191 new CVEs issued, 250+ secrets prevented from leaking, and 600+ leaked secrets resolved across 138 projects. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
